Zenobia Wilson

Zenobia Wilson serves as a Contract Specialist within the Contract Administration Services Division (70RCAS) of the Department of Homeland Security’s Office of Procurement Operations, where she plays a pivotal role in executing mission-critical acquisitions that support national security and operational readiness. She manages the full lifecycle of professional, scientific, and technical service contracts, with a primary focus on ensuring compliance with federal acquisition regulations and advancing the agency’s research and development objectives in physical and engineering sciences. Her portfolio centers on procurement actions that sustain systems integrity and cybersecurity infrastructure, often involving complex service-based requirements requiring rigorous source selection and contract administration. While specific contractor names are not publicly disclosed, Wilson maintains consistent working relationships with a broad network of small business vendors, particularly those certified under socioeconomic programs. Her contracting patterns reflect a deep engagement with small business partners, fostering collaborative, performance-driven vendor relationships that emphasize innovation, responsiveness, and regulatory compliance. She actively cultivates a vendor ecosystem that prioritizes agility and technical adaptability to meet evolving homeland security needs. Wilson demonstrates an unwavering commitment to small business participation, with 100% of her acquisitions structured as total small business set-asides under FAR 19.5. This reflects a strategic alignment with federal socioeconomic goals, ensuring that contracting opportunities are deliberately reserved for small businesses, including 8(a), HUBZone, and SDVOSB concerns, to promote equitable economic growth and workforce development. Her primary procurement focus is on NAICS 424920—Book, Periodical, and Newspaper Merchant Wholesalers—which, in this context, supports the acquisition of specialized technical publications, scientific journals, and curated informational resources critical to research, training, and operational documentation. This specialization underscores her expertise in procuring non-traditional but essential knowledge assets that underpin DHS’s scientific and engineering missions, bridging the gap between information dissemination and mission execution.
